ABSTRACT
Objective: A study was conducted to determine
the incidence of Helicobacter pylori infection in children who had chronic
abdominal pain.
Study Design: Cross-sectional study.
Study and Duration of Study: This research was carried
out during 1.1.2019 to 1.6.2020 in the DHQ Sargodha.
Materials and Methods: According to the findings,
there were 200 participants in the study, and 8 percent of those with Recurrent
Abdominal Pain had Helicobacter.
Results: The patients ranged in age
from 12.43 to 12.43 and 1.23 months on average. Between 8 and 16 years old, the
average age of the sample group was observed. The average number of months that
participants were bothered by stomach discomfort was 4.23. The presence of
Helicobacter pylori was confirmed in 47% of those who were tested.
Conclusion: Helicobacter pylori is a
common cause of recurrent abdominal pain in children, and it can be treated
with antibiotics. In children and adolescents, it is a serious problem, and
more research is needed to determine the risk factor that is linked to an increased
Helicobacter Pylori infection rate.
